Can anyone tell me which folders should be in the root directory of Win 7 after a fresh new install. I seem to have some old folders from XP hanging around after a Win 7 install and I would like to get rid of any that are not needed. These are outside of the windows.old folder.

Thanks

Can you post a screenshot of the folder structure you are seeing?

I had only Program Files, Program Files (x86), Windows without hidden files and folders on and I am also running x64 (to explain the duplicate Program Files folder)
